Senior SI/PI Engineer (Teradyne, North Reading, MA)

About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Signal Integrity/Power Integrity Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will leverage your expertise in high-speed electronics interfaces to perform pre-routing and post-routing simulations for cutting-edge designs.

Responsibilities

• Perform pre- and post-routing signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) end to end (cables, connectors traces) simulations for various critical technologies in the design (from UARTs to PCI express).
• Provide input to PCB stack-ups to ensure optimal performance, reliability and cost.
• Collaborate with hardware design teams to implement changes based on simulation.
• Perform lab-based correlation activities on physical hardware to connect simulations to implementation and improve quality of simulation.
• Identify and resolve SI/PI issues such as crosstalk, reflections, impedance mismatches, and power delivery noise.
• Understand and be able to compute the impact of signal integrity upon digital timing margins.
• Provide expertise in high-speed protocols, including PCIe, USB, Ethernet, and others, to ensure compliance with standards.
• Design and optimize power delivery networks (PDN) to meet system-level requirements.
• Clearly present complex simulation results and recommendations in written reports, presentations, and technical meetings.
• Stay informed on industry trends and emerging technologies in SI/PI engineering, PCB materials and high-speed interfaces.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in signal integrity and power integrity engineering, with a focus on high-speed electronics.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Expertise in simulations for high-speed PCBs and systems using such tools as HFSS, 3D Layout, CST, Ansys SIwave, Cadence Sigrity, Polar, or similar tools.
• Experience with PCB layout tools such as Allegro, Altium Designer, or Mentor Graphics.
• Strong understanding of high-speed protocols such as PCIe Gen5/Gen6, USB 3.x/4.0, and others.
• Deep knowledge of SI/PI concepts, including impedance control, S-parameters, crosstalk, reflections, eye diagrams, jitter, and PDN analysis.
• Proven ability to interpret and apply simulation results to inform design and debug issues.
• Knowledge of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and its impact on SI/PI.
• Experience in working across cross-functional teams and mentoring junior engineers.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey technical findings to diverse audiences.
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment and delivering within tight turn-around times.
• Desire to work as a team with a results-driven approach.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, Flexible Spending Accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance, paid vacation & holidays, tuition assistance programs, and more.
